Anthony Martin Landry, a 57-year-old man with a criminal history, has been identified as the suspect who shot and killed a Houston attorney named Jeffrey Limmer after getting upset over his McDonald’s order. The incident occurred on May 4 at the McDonald’s located on the West Interstate Highway 10 service road. Landry had demanded a refund from the workers, leading to a confrontation with Limmer. The situation turned physical, with Landry allegedly pushing Limmer to the ground, retrieving a gun from his car, and shooting the lawyer multiple times. Limmer died at the scene, and Landry fled in his blue Ford pickup truck.
At the time of the shooting, Landry was on bond for a previous felony aggravated assault charge, where he had harmed a family member with a cane.

They expressed gratitude for the support from the community and asked for privacy as they mourn Limmer’s loss. Limmer’s sister mentioned that it was characteristic of her brother to try and calm down a situation, as he was known for standing up for the little guy and doing the right thing.
Jeffrey Limmer, the victim in this tragedy, was a well-educated attorney who had earned a bachelor’s degree in government from the University of Texas at Austin and a law degree from South Texas College of Law. He was working as an associate at a law firm in Houston at the time of his death. Limmer was described as a music lover who enjoyed the outdoors and was a dedicated dog owner to his beloved bulldog Lola. He lived near the McDonald’s where the incident took place and was known for ordering from there frequently. Limmer’s family emphasized their hope for the swift arrest and prosecution of the suspect, as they prayed for justice to be served and for the safety of law enforcement involved in the case.
